The Georgia Tech Diversity Symposium provides
a forum for robust, informed and civil discussion and dialogue among faculty,
staff, and students about issues related to building and sustaining an
inclusive and welcoming campus community. Each year, we sponsor a variety
of lectures, panels, and workshops focused on issues and concerns that we as a
community can address to support our vision for inclusive excellence.

Georgia Tech embraces Inclusive
Excellence as an important element of our vision for being a leading
technological University in the 21st century. From these conversations,
we learn how the experiences of the members of our community compare with our
aspirations and help us identify future diversity goals.

The primary audiences of the symposium
are institutional leaders, faculty, and staff who have responsibilities
for faculty and staff hiring and student academic success. At the annual
symposium, we hear from the many diverse voices that make up our community as
we continue our efforts to make Georgia Tech a world-class research university
and a vibrant and inclusive community for everyone.

We invite all members of our campus
community to participate and contribute to the dialogue and discussions as a
way to make your voices heard as we work together to build “one Georgia Tech”
that values and respects everyone’s contributions.
